Definitions

  • the present invention relates to clips that may be used, for example, for attaching a mounting panel, such as an instrumental panel, of an automobile to a cowl inner panel on the side of an automobile body.
  • the clip disclosed in this publication includes a panel clip for attaching to an instrumental panel and a body clip for attaching to a side of a body.
  • the body clip is inserted into a clamp portion of the panel clip and is then clamped by the clamp portion from opposite side, so that the body clip and the panel clip are coupled together.
  • this publication proposes to adhere a non-woven fabric or the like onto a surface of the body clip.
  • the clip requires two separate members including the panel clip and the body clip, which leads to increase in the manufacturing cost.
  • a load required for inserting the body clip into the clamp portion of the panel clip is set to a higher value. This may increase a work burden in the operation for coupling the clips together.
  • the manufacturing cost may be further increased.
  • the intended movement preventing function is lowered and may lead to generation of abnormal noise.
  • the clamp portion of the panel clip attached to the instrumental panel clamps the part of the body directly from opposite sides.
  • resilient claws contacting with the body within the clamp portion of the panel clip and capable of being bent for absorbing the tolerance of the thickness of the body are in contact with the body by their leading ends having small contact areas. Therefore, if the position of the body changes in the forward and rearward directions of the automobile, it may be possible that the resilient claws cannot contact the body or the contact areas are decreased further. Decrease in the contact areas may cause rattling in the pivotal movement (prying movement) of the clip about the contact point with the body when vibrations or the like of the automobile occur.
  • One aspect according to the present invention includes a base portion and a clamp portion.
  • the base portion can be joined to a first member of a vehicle.
  • the clamp portion is formed integrally with the base portion and can joined to a second member of the vehicle.
  • the clamp portion includes a first jaw and a second jaw defining a receiving space therebetween.
  • the receiving space can receive a part of the second member.
  • a support portion is formed on one of the first and second jaws and is positioned within the receiving space.
  • the support portion is resiliently deformable and can apply a pressing force against the part of the second member in a direction toward the other of the first and second jaws during and after insertion of the part of the second member into the receiving space.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clip according to an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the clip
  • FIG. 3 is front view of the clip
  • FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state of mounting an instrumental panel to an cowl inner panel by using the clip
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the clip with a part shown in cross section and showing the mounting state of the clip to a boss portion of the instrumental panel;
  • FIG. 6 is a side view of a part of the clip and showing the state of being joined to the cowl inner panel
  • FIG. 7 is a front view of a part of the clip and showing the state of being joined to the cowl inner panel.
  • FIG. 8 is a front view similar to FIG. 7 but showing an alternative embodiment.
  • a clip used for mounting a mounting panel to a body-side member of a vehicle includes a base and a clamp portion.
  • the base can be joined to the mounting panel.
  • the clamp portion can be joined to the body-side member in a state that a part of the body-side member is clamped from opposite sides.
  • the clamp portion includes a receiving space having an opening end, from which the portion of the body-side member can be inserted.
  • a support portion is disposed within the receiving space and extends in an inserting direction of the part of the body-side member. The support portion can contact a surface of the part of the body-side member over a range more than half a length of the receiving space in the inserting direction.
  • An effective size of the receiving space determined on the basis of the support portion is set to be smaller than a minimum tolerable value of the thickness of the part of the body-side member, so that the support portion can be bent according to the thickness of the part of the body-side member inserted into the receiving space.
  • the mounting panel can be mounted to the body-side member by using only the clip that is joined to the mounting panel, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost in comparison with the use of two separate clips including a panel clip joined to the mounting panel and a body clip joined to the body-side member.
  • the support portion may include first and second support portions each including a flexible tab and a rib protruding from a leading end of the flexible tab for contacting with a surface of the part of the body-side member.
  • the flexible tabs of the first and second support portions extend from opposite side walls defined within the clamp portion in directions perpendicular to the inserting direction.
  • Each of the flexible tab and the rib of each of the first and second support portions extends continuously in the inserting direction over a range more than half a length of the receiving space in the inserting direction.
  • the flexible tabs of the first and second support portions can be bent independently of each other according the thickness of the part of the body-side member inserted into the receiving space.
  • each of the ribs can reliably contact the part of the body-side member over a long range in the inserting direction. Therefore, the joint condition of the clamp portion to the body-side member can be kept in stable. Further, because the first and second support portions are spaced from each other and are positioned on opposite sides within the clamp portion, it is possible to efficiently use their flexible properties for absorbing the change in thickness of the part of the body-side member.
  • Each of the ribs of the first and second support portions may have a contact surface contacting with the surface of the part of the body-side member and configured as an arcuate surface. This may lead to reduce a force required for inserting the part of the body-side member into the clamp portion.
  • a clip 10 is made of resin and is an integrally molded product.

  • a screw 46 can be inserted into the screw insertion hole 12 b (see FIG. 5 ). More specifically, the screw 46 can be inserted into the screw insertion hole 12 b via a receiving space 16 formed in the clamp portion 14 . The screw 46 can then be engaged with a threaded hole 32 b formed in the boss portion 32 of the base portion 12 , so that the base portion 12 of the clip 10 can be fixedly joined to the boss portion 32 .
  • the clamp portion 14 of the clip 10 has a bifurcated configuration and includes an upper jaw 14 a and a lower jaw 14 b .
  • the receiving space 16 is defined between the upper and lower jaws 14 a and 14 b and can receive the flange 42 of the cowl inner panel 40 .
  • End surfaces of the upper and lower jaws 14 a and 14 b defining an end surface of the clamp portion 14 on the opening side of the receiving space 16 are configured as inclined surfaces 18 that are inclined toward each other for guiding the flange 42 when the flange 42 is inserted into the receiving space 16 .
  • the clamp portion 14 has a pair of support portions 20 positioned within the receiving space 16 .
  • the support portions 20 and arranged in a widthwise direction of the clamp portion 14 and are configured to be symmetrical with each other with respect to the central line of the clamp portion 14 .
  • an upper portion of the lower jaw 14 b is recessed to define opposite inner side walls.
  • Each of the support portions 20 includes a resiliently flexible tab 22 and a rib 24 .
  • the flexible tabs 22 of the support portions 20 extend from the opposite inner side walls of the lower jaw 14 b toward the center with respect to the widthwise direction of the clamp portion 14 .
  • the ribs 24 protrude upward (toward the upper jaw 14 a ) from the leading ends of the respective flexible tabs 22 .
  • each of the ribs 24 has an upper edge with an arcuate surface 24 a curved in the direction perpendicular to the inserting direction of the flange 42 .
  • the inserting direction of the flange 42 will be hereinafter called “flange inserting direction.”
  • an end surface of each rib 24 positioned on the side opposite to the flange inserting direction is configured as an inclined surface 24 b that extends in series with the inclined surface 18 of the lower jaw 14 b if the inclined surface 18 is extended further upward. Therefore, the inclined surfaces 24 b of the ribs 24 cooperate with the inclined surface 18 for guiding the flange 42 when the flange 42 is inserted into the receiving space 16 .
  • the flexible tabs 22 and the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 extend along a length more than half the length of the receiving space 16 in the flange inserting direction.
  • the upper jaw 14 a has a pair of ribs 15 protruding downward (toward the lower jaw 14 b ) from opposite ends in the widthwise direction of the upper jaw 14 a .
  • the ribs 15 extend along the entire length of the receiving space 16 in the flange inserting direction. It may be possible to configure the support portions 20 such that the flexible tabs 22 and the ribs 24 extend along the entire length of the receiving space 16 in the flange inserting direction.
  • the effective size of the receiving space 16 of the clamp portion 14 is determined by a distance S (see FIG. 3 ) between the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 of the lower jaw 14 b and the ribs 15 of the upper jaw 14 a .
  • the distance S is set to be smaller a minimum tolerable value of the thickness of the flange 42 .
  • the upper surface of the flange 42 contacts the ribs 15 of the upper jaw 14 a of the clamp portion 14 while the lower surface of the flange 42 contacts the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 (see FIGS. 6 and 7 ).
  • the ribs 15 of the upper jaw 14 a and the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 respectively contact the upper and lower surfaces of the flange 42 over a long range along the flange inserting direction, so that the flange 42 is clamped from its upper and lower sides.
  • the clamp portion 14 of the clip 10 is joined to the flange 42 of the cowl inner panel 40 .
  • the flexible tabs 22 of the support portions 20 are resiliently bent according to the thickness of the flange 42 inserted into the receiving space 16 , while the arcuate surfaces 24 a of the ribs 24 contact the lower surface of the flange 42 as shown in FIG. 7 . Therefore, a force necessary for inserting the flange 42 into the receiving space 16 can be reduced.
  • the flexible tabs 22 are bent substantially about axes that are perpendicular to the flange inserting direction, it is possible to maintain the arcuate surfaces 24 a in contact with the flange 42 during over half the stroke of movement of the flange 42 within the receiving space 16 .
  • the base portion 12 of the clip 10 is joined to the boss portion 32 of the instrumental panel 30 .
  • This operation is performed by fitting the projection 32 a of the boss portion 32 into the positioning recess 12 a of the base portion 12 , inserting the screw 46 into the screw insertion hole 12 b of the base portion 12 , engaging the screw 46 with the threaded hole 32 b of the boss portion 32 , and tightening the screw 46 into the threaded hole 32 b (see FIG. 5 ).
  • the thread insertion hole 12 b is positioned at a central position between the support portions 20 of the clamp portion 14 . Therefore, the tightening position of the screw 46 is not offset from the central position with respect to the widthwise direction of the clip 10 . As a result, a stable joining state of the clip 10 to the boss portion 32 is achieved.
  • the flange 42 of the cowl inner panel 40 is inserted into the clamp portion 14 of the clip 10 as the instrumental panel 30 is positioned relative to the cowl inner panel 40 . Therefore, as described previously, the flange 42 is clamped from its upper and lower sides by the ribs 15 of the upper jaw 14 a of the clamp portion 14 and the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 , so that the clamp portion 14 and the flange 42 are joined to each other. In this state, the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 contact the lower surface of the flange 42 over a long range along the flange inserting direction, i.e., over half the length of the receiving space 16 in the flange inserting direction.
  • the instrumental panel 30 and the cowl inner panel 40 with each other by using the clip 10 that is a one-piece element, without use of two separate elements, such as a panel clip and a body clip of the known art.
  • the ribs 24 of the support portions 20 are in contact with the flange 42 over more than half the length of the receiving space 16 in the flange inserting direction, it is possible to hold the flange 42 in stable irrespective of change of position of the flange 42 in the forward and rearward directions or the upward and downward directions.
